VertX_CacheTool.c - 

This tool can be compiled locally or cross-compiled to
run on the VertX V2000. If you use it locally, you'll
have to copy the AccessDB and IdentDB files to your system

To compile for Cris:

Set up build environment, instructions here:
	http://developer.axis.com/wiki/doku.php?id=axis:sdk

Then compile:

# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cris/bin/
# cris-gcc -mlinux -o VertX_CacheTool VertX_CacheTool.c


Copy VertX_CacheTool to the VertX via FTP:
